    1. Re: [KYMONTGO-L] Joan: Baptist Book
    2. Thank you for giving the listing from e-by of the families who are named in John H. Spencer's History of Baptists in Kentucky For those interested in further research, this publication [ 2 volumes] has been filmed twice by the Family history Library in Salt lake City. I am certain it is on the shelves of many genealogical libraries, and probably in lots of public libraries in Kentucky and perhaps in Virginia, whence came many of these Baptists. (To find the FHL catalog listing, go to familysearch.org, look for the link to the catalog, and type in author search, John H. Spencer.) In case you are not familiar with some of these early Baptist families of Kentucky, this is just to advise that many of these Baptist families were intermarried. So, if you find one name that is familiar to you, do a little more research and learn with whom that family intermarried! For example, Rev. Andrew Tribble, who resided for a time and died in Madison Co., KY had several daughters who married into other Baptist families. One of his daughters, Frances Tandy Tribble [called Frankey in some documents] married the old pioneer Michael Stoner, most probably not a well-known Baptist. After Michael died in Wayne Co., KY, Frances gave permission for her dau. Frances to marry Thomas Chilton, a Baptist minister (Wayne Co. marriage records). Later, the mother Frances Stoner married her daughter's father-in-law, the elder Thomas Chilton!!! She is listed that way--Frances Chilton [frequently misspelled] in some records of Kentucky, including a death record kept by kentucky for a few years prior to the Civil War. I do not have my notes handy, but another of Andrew Tribble's daughters married David Chenault, said to be a fire-and-brimstone kind of preacher, also of Madison Co. Somehow the Quisenberrys are connected, but I do not know the connection at present. I hope this interests some of you. By the way, I am frequently intrigued by torn and tattered volumes which appear on bookshelves in libraries--the ones most of us overlook. Before the KY Historical Society moved to its new quarters, I was prowling the shelves for any publication on Henderson Co. KY (other ancestors from NC, not VA) and I found some transcribed minutes of Grave Creek Baptist Church. I learned a good deal about the community in which my ancestor lived, although I do not think he was a member, but some of his children were. With luck you may be able to stumble on such a transcript. E.W.Wallace with many kentucky roots
